This study was conducted among the teachers of District I, Malaybalay City Division. A total of 160 respondents were included in the study. This study tried to identify teachers' attitudes towards their teaching profession, teachers' performance in the school year 2021-2023, a significant relationship between the teachers' attitude towards their job and their work performance, a significant relationship between the work designations of teachers and their attitude towards work, and a significant relationship between the work designations of teachers and their work performance. It employed a descriptive-correlational survey design, utilizing a researcher-created questionnaire as a tool for gathering data. The analysis further involved frequency counts, percentages, and means, while Pearson's r product-moment correlation was used to determine the correlation between variables. It was found that respondents are mostly 30 years old or older, predominantly female, and have 30 years or less of teaching experience. They demonstrated a Very Satisfactory teaching performance for two consecutive years, from 2021 to 2023. Only a few received a designation of 4 and below, while almost all received a designation of 5 and above, which is a considerable number of designations assigned to a teacher. More than half of the respondents regularly attend seminars to engage in professional development activities, enhancing their teaching skills and knowledge. This study also found that the IPCRF rating of the teachers for the school year 2021-2023 is Very Satisfactory. Additionally, it was found that the teachers' performance is unaffected by the various criteria or the overall level of demonstrated work attitude. Furthermore, work designations have a direct bearing and impact on teachers' attitudes towards their work. Finally, there is no significant relationship between the work designations of teachers and their work performance.
